Mozilla has banned the popular (250,000+ installs) YouTube Unblock
add-on that allowed users to view YouTube clips blocked in their
country.
The reason for this move is because the add-on was caught
disabling a Firefox security setting (code signing) which the allowed it
to silent-install another add-on, which Avast (antivirus software) was
detecting as malware.
Earlier in 2015, the same plugin was again caught
cheating when it was using an self-contained update system that was
bypassing Mozilla's add-on review process.
Users that want to get rid of the add-on can follow these steps provided by Ghacks.
